In a thought-provoking discussion, Bart Ehrman, a New Testament expert from UNC, challenges the traditional view of Jesus' divinity, arguing that the early Church transformed him into the Son of God. Simon Gathercole, a scholar from Cambridge and contributor to a response book, counters by exploring how the Gospels present Jesus' identity. The debate dives into the historical context of early Christianity, the evolution of beliefs around Jesus' resurrection, and differing interpretations of scripture, shedding light on the complexities of Christ's divine status.
